I guess skyward sword, wind waker, spirit tracks doesn't exist :l
(Also can you really call it progressing if it's already happened? )
Skyward Sword's Zelda was just another bland mystical not-princess. Wind Waker's was Tetra, who stopped being interesting whenever she turned into Zelda. I can't speak for Spirit Tracks, since I haven't played it.

skyward sword had link and zelda's destinies intertwined- they progressed together and the indicator of that progress was the context of their relationship with each other.
Tetra is zelda, and just because she loses all her personality when she learns the truth (she's kinda in shock so it's super understandable), that doesn't mean there's no progression >.>
if you're willing to call something that happened canonically 100 years before the game even occurs, then you need to be willing to call progression that you don't personally like progression all the same.
spirit tracks zelda starts out as a bratty princess and ends up being super dependable and mature.
It'd be fine if the games made their versions of Zelda interesting.
The problem with SS Zelda and her relationship with Link is that it just isn't interesting. She doesn't show any kind of personality outside of the relationship and the game tries to reinforce this by reminding you just how good friends you and Zelda are.
Tetra is better when she isn't Zelda. Everything interesting about her evaporates when when folks start calling her Zelda and dressing her like a princess, along with her sassy attitude and her tendency to jump headfirst into combat.
I'm not sure what you're implying about the events of BotW. It doesn't matter if the cutscenes took place during the 100 year gap, it just matters that they happened.

I'm open to Zelda being playable... but how should she be utilized?
As the hero of the game?
I think Zelda and Link should be heroes together <3
While I'd love for them to be joint protagonists, I just don't think they have the character dynamic necessary to carry the game. Like most other Links, the Link of Breath of the Wild is about as charismatic as a wooden chair and with just as much personality. Unless Nintendo finally removes the unnecessary shackles and gives Link a voice, I don't see their interactions being interesting enough to carry a game.
Nah. As I said a change in protagonists will definitely help BotW2's cause just like in RE's case. Though I hadn't played RE myself I've seen my cousin playing it as I grew up.
Also, Link is Zelda's assistance. This time it would be interesting if Zelda herself jumps in the action and finishes Ganodorf for good and do justice for the title "The Legend of Zelda"
At first this idea sparked in my idle brain. But as time passed, the passion to see a swashbuckling Zelda spread like a forest fire.

Honestly, I prefer the idea of Zelda going it alone. I'm hoping that the trailer showing Link being in zombie Ganon's clutches indicates that we'll experience our lonely adventure with just Zelda. No excessive talking or cutscenes between the two.
I think he could still have a personality without speaking. All they have to do is make look like he has feelings, and emotions. And I wish that if they kept him from not speaking, they would make it a disability instead, and he would use a notebook to communicate. It would make the game so much cooler in my opinion.
That would be the dumbest move ever.....
It's much less dumb than him staring vacantly at people. I'd be down for Link's mute nature to be the result of a disability.
Btw, we're talking about Zelda being playable pls don't derail it. we can discuss it here
Speaking of which I have found something depressing:
We mustn't forget that the trailer also portraits Zelda falling down. which has a potential danger of Zelda being portrayed as a damsel in distress......AGAIN. What do you think about this?
